Jet Air, Hutch tie up for M-ticketing

Jet Airways and Hutch have entered into an agreement whereby Hutch customers who are also Jet Privilege members can book airline tickets using their mobiles.

The initiative – called M-ticketing – was unveiled at a press conference on Tuesday and makes use of a mobile ticketing solution called JetWallet. JetWallet was designed by C-Sam Inc, a company headquartered in Chicago with offices in Mumbai and Baroda. The application took almost a year to develop but the investment costs were not revealed.
